Hey hey...Made my first starter yesterday around 3:30pm.
(200-330Ml water + 2-3oz of DME)
Boiling for 10 minutes, placed in ice bath. Here's where things get fuzzy:
Flask was in ice bath for what seemed to be only a minute or 2. I took temp, and the temp was shooting down very quickly (at least it seemed to be)....Temp seemed to be approaching 70, so I pitched yeast.
So as of now (15+ hours later)...no action at all. Part of me thinks the wort was too hot and I killed my yeast (could be paranonia)...
Am I get more yeast today and making a new starter? Any way to tell if yeast is dead?
